    That is cool. Wales are the team I love to hate, but I’d still have been starstruck and chuffed to bits!

      It’s alright, they’re my national team too and I love to hate them too 🤣

      I mean, I know they’re pro athletes in a contact sport so they’re naturally going to be bigger units than your average sportsperson, but it was hard not to be impressed by the sheer presence they had as a team walking six-wide through the concourse.

      I doubt they had to wait for half hour in a check-in line, and put their bags in the crate to made sure it fit in the hand luggage restrictions either!

        I know what you mean. I met Stephen Jones ( former Wales fly half, not opinionated rugby journo) once and was amazed at how wide he was. He always looked fairly normal on the telly next to all those giants, but there was plenty of him!
